- 1:21And bring on Linda Harvey, right now she's back with us.
- 1:24Mission American, why are we having Linda in the month of June?
- 1:27Well, I wonder what we're going to be talking about today.
- 1:30MissionAmerica.com, she's got a phenomenal school corruption and propaganda calendar that
- 1:39we're going to be referring to at probably many points during the podcast.
- 1:43David, Linda, good to see you.
- 1:45Welcome back to World View Matters.
- 1:47It's great to be with you, David.
- 1:49Yes, good to be here.
- 1:50And unfortunately, we're talking about this.
- 1:52It's not going away.
- 1:53And that's one of the takeaways which we're going to get to, this LGBTQ ideology, the
- 2:02religion of sex, the cultural Marxism, and just what they're pushing on younger and younger
- 2:08kids, whether it's in the public schools or the public square, it's not going away even
- 2:13though some of the headlines might say, so and so company or store corporation is letting
- 2:18up a little bit on their pride displays.
- 2:21We'll get to that.
- 2:22But Linda, I want to start with some scripture.
- 2:24We could go to Romans 1 and talk about that.
- 2:27But let's go to 1 Corinthians chapter 6, starting in verse 9 because the Christian response
- 2:33to anyone in any kind of sin is Jesus is Lord.
- 2:38He is the truth.
- 2:39He is the only way to be saved.
- 2:40The only way that you can be forgiven of your sins is to confess, turn to Christ, repent
- 2:45of your sins.
- 2:47Let's go back to the scriptures now.
- 2:49It says, do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God.
- 2:54Do not be deceived.
- 2:56Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves,
- 3:05nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of
- 3:10God.
- 3:11Such were some of you, some of us, right?
- 3:16But by the grace of God, where we've been saved, but we were washed, sanctified, justified
- 3:22in the name of the Lord Jesus.
- 3:23I want to point out, Linda, and then you can comment on this if you'd like that Paul
- 3:29mentions both sides of the homosexual behavior, homosexuals and sodomites.
- 3:37So the male or the masculine and the feminine role in the relationship, in the homosexual
- 3:43behavior there, because it mentions homosexuals and the word for that and sodomites.
- 3:48So you got the the sodomizer and the one being sodomized.
- 3:52So it's interesting that he mentions both as if, you know, if there's any confusion, this
- 3:58is what the Bible says is a sin and these lifestyles will not inherit the kingdom of God,
- 4:03your thoughts.
- 4:05Yes, it is crystal clear, because if you read very much material from especially the Christian
- 4:13left, where they are trying to massage and compromise the word of God, they will tell you,
- 4:20oh no, the references in the New Testament are all about, you know, promiscuous homosexuality.
- 4:28It's not about the committed same sex couple.
- 4:31Not true.
- 4:32It's about the act and the behavior.
- 4:36I think this is an important thing to think about because people will say to me, and I'm
- 4:41sure they'll say this to you and anyone who stands up for this, do you, are you saying
- 4:46that homosexuals go to hell?
- 4:50Are they condemned by God?
- 4:52Well, it's interesting because any persistent, prideful sin named a sin in scripture that
- 4:59people hold onto that they prefer to knowing the Lord Jesus, you are rejecting the gospel
- 5:10and the truth of God.
- 5:12And so, but the person that has those passing feelings or has struggled with it, but still
- 5:19affirms the word of God and says, you know, I'm struggling with this, but I know that
- 5:23I'm going to overcome this with the Lord's help and does change their conduct.
- 5:29That the feelings are not going to condemn you because we are human beings.
- 5:34There's temtem.
- 5:35All through.
- 5:36I mean, how many times, you know, when you were little, did you want, I don't know if you
- 5:39have a brother, did you want to kill your little brother?
- 5:42I mean, you know, I mean, how many kids have wanted to say, I wish they would die.
- 5:48Well, those feelings are not going to condemn you.
- 5:51You don't act on them.
- 5:52And so, you know, you go on and God is merciful.
- 5:57He is a long suffering and patient and look at our nation, the abortion, the homosexuality,
- 6:04the gender confusion, the gender mutilation of children.
- 6:09We know and what we should know, you know, God is very patient with us.
- 6:13He's sometimes a bit more patient than maybe we should be with each other in stopping
- 6:19some of this, which is what I work on, what you work on.
- 6:23And yet we have to know that he's been patient with us.
- 6:26So, you know, we're here trying to be patient and do the best we can in the most civil way
- 6:33to turn some of this back.
- 6:35So I want to quote, we're going to show some headlines friends and we're going to talk
- 6:39about some memes and things you might see on social media.
- 6:42And we're just going to have some, well, maybe a little bit of fun.
- 6:44We are going to be serious about this because according to the CDC and astonishing one in
- 6:50four high schoolers now identify as LGBTQ, that's an increase of 15% from just from less
- 6:58than 10 years ago.
- 7:00So the marketing of evil, the promotion of this is working.
- 7:04If you're on the left, if you do not believe in the biblical worldview and are pushing
- 7:08something else, they're recruiting kids.
- 7:11They cannot reproduce so they have to recruit, right?
- 7:14But I want to quote Dr. Matt Ayers and he said he's a pastor and the former president
- 7:20of Wesley Biblical seminary.
- 7:22He said from a Christian perspective, pride month is harmful because it affirms, encourages
- 7:28and celebrates what scripture plainly identifies as sin, which is against God, nature, individuals
- 7:35and communities.
- 7:37As such, sin is destructive and thwarts the generation and sustaining of life as God intends
- 7:44it.
- 7:46Pride month is an act of rebellion against God who deeply loves us and expresses such by
- 7:52prohibiting that which is against our well-being.
- 7:56And by the way, God loved us enough to send his son to lay down his life as a ransom,
- 8:02as sacrifice for our sins that we might be forgiven to anybody.
- 8:06However, whoever believes, so there's the inclusivity in Christianity, but it is a very exclusive
- 8:13gospel because you either believe and it received Christ and are forgiven and are saved
- 8:18or you're heading for a different destination of destruction.
- 8:22So Linda, let's look at a couple headlines.
- 8:24In the first one, Jeff, bring up the target one from the New York Post.
- 8:30You might see this headline friends and say, oh, wow, look at that.
- 8:35People, the resistance is working target pride collection is back after last year's firestorm,
- 8:43but has shrunk to just 75 items.
- 8:48So Linda, let's talk about this.
- 8:50To me, 75 is a lot.
- 8:53Yes.
- 8:54In context, they had 2000.
- 8:57They had 2000 items for sale in their pride collection, whether that's in their stores
- 9:03or online, 75 is a lot.
- 9:06There's still what they're not backing away saying, oh, yeah, we were wrong.
- 9:09Sorry for pushing this hypersexuality on young children, your thoughts, Linda?
- 9:14Well, they're being pushed by the external homosexual LGBTQ community, but also their internal
- 9:22group of employees.
- 9:23These internal workplace employee groups are setting the tone and they are becoming
- 9:28much more.
- 9:29They're getting more and more muscle all the time to determine what a company does and
- 9:34where they go with this.
- 9:36Remember last year, Target had body suit site for children.
- 9:41They had swimsuits for youth that included the ability to do tucking of a boy's male anatomy
- 9:50if he wanted to protect the girl and chest vitors for girls pretending to be boys.
- 9:56They had material that had been produced by a person.
- 10:00I forget it was guy or a girl, but who knows who they are or what they identify with.
- 10:06In another context, not at Target, produced satanic LGBTQ material.
- 10:13These people well down the road of just thumbing their nose at Christians.
- 10:17Christians should not shop at a place like that.
- 10:21There are plenty of other options than Target for virtually anything you might want.
- 10:27I would say folks, let's continue to let Target know we're not supporting this.
- 10:34Pull up the slide of all the different logos and rainbow, all the corporations.
- 10:41There we go.
- 10:42This is now, this I think this one is from a few years ago.
- 10:45This isn't even up to date and there's many, many more.
- 10:49This gives you an idea of what corporations and others do during pride month and by
- 10:54the way, it's queer all year.
- 10:56Let's just be honest.
- 10:57Can we, can we drop the formalities and say this is an all year long agenda?
- 11:01It doesn't stop on July 1st.
- 11:04So Linda, look at that.
- 11:06We've got logos from all kinds of, and we are saying be aware of it, friends.
- 11:12I mean, two to a lot of us.
- 11:13If you're Christians, if you're conservative, June can be a disappointing, discouraging,
- 11:21overwhelming month to have to deal with this.
- 11:24But we are here for such a time as this.
- 11:25If we love our neighbor, we will stand up to this because it is evil.
- 11:29It's exposing the deeds of darkness.
- 11:31It's not participating.
- 11:33Ephesians 5, 11 makes that very clear.
- 11:36On believers in Christ are not to participate in these activities, pride parades, things in
- 11:42the park, drag school, the libraries, what is it, the drag story are.
- 11:47So Linda, just here, when you saw all those logos and there's many more, I just pulled
- 11:52that one up to give people an idea how prevalent this is.
- 11:57I don't think we can get away from it.
- 11:59You said before we got on the podcast, you've noticed a little less, and I'm thinking,
- 12:03well, compared to what?
- 12:05Go ahead.
- 12:07Well, let me just give you a few more corporations that are proudly going along with pride.
- 12:13So so far this year, there's Coles.
- 12:16There's still Target, LL Bean, if you can believe it, Michaels, craft shops.
- 12:23There's of course Disney, Coca-Cola, JC Penny, and last year it was Nike, Coles, Adidas,
- 12:31Under Armour, Converse, Levi's, Lands End even, you know, and Zappos, and on and on.
- 12:40So what I understand is that last year, there was a survey of corporations mid-summer.
- 12:48This is after all the Bud Light controversy and tarot controversy.
- 12:53So asking them had they pulled back any of their pride promotion and 40% of them said
- 13:00they did.
- 13:01And so, but this year, a pre-pride, there was a survey, 78% said, oh, no, we have no intention
- 13:09of doing that.
- 13:10So we just have to use our, you keep our eyes open, be willing to write that email folks
- 13:16and say, yeah, this ends me.
- 13:18I'm a Christian and I don't hate anybody, but this is wrong in my, in my world view.
- 13:24Yeah.
- 13:25And by the way, you know, boycotts, you know, some people have different views on boycotts
- 13:30that for the most part, they do work.
- 13:31They send a message.
- 13:33Buycotts do as well when you support companies buying their products that agree with your
- 13:39biblical worldview, your values.
- 13:41But I want to mention Target, their stock price fell by more than 40%.
- 13:49Disney lost hundreds of millions of dollars in their feature films and others as a brand
- 13:55and their stock price over almost 45% I believe don't quote me on that.
- 14:00But they're still pushing it.
- 14:02They have done, in fact, they double down.
- 14:03They're still having their pride in the park events.
- 14:05They're still putting it in their TV shows and movies.
- 14:07There we go.
- 14:08Thank you.
- 14:09There's another one that's, you can get that at the, what do you call it, the Magic Kingdom.
- 14:13Show the young family.
- 14:14There we go.
- 14:15A gay Mickey, rainbow Mickey.
- 14:17So here we stop right there.
- 14:18Hold that.
- 14:20You've got two women, I'm guessing they're lesbian, whether they're married or not, who
- 14:24knows, but they have two daughters, or I think is that a son and a daughter?
- 14:28It might be, I'm just saying, look, this is a family.
- 14:31This is now the new family values of Disney and the corporate world when it comes to pride.
- 14:36Linda, what do you think about that?
- 14:39Well, this is appalling, you know, I've gone to pride parades in the past.
- 14:44I haven't for about 10, it's been nine years to take photos occasionally to do a little
- 14:51protesting or handing out a flyers and boy, did that go badly?
- 14:56I mean, I think it, you know, it's what we're supposed to do, but it was not received well.
- 15:01It's what I'm saying.
- 15:02Because in Columbus, they have a huge pride parade, 700,000 people will be here on June 15th,
- 15:11which is coming right up.
- 15:12You have a big one that just happened in Milwaukee, June 9th as well.
- 15:17And so, you know, we, we go to, but I wanted to document some of these, the pictures because
- 15:24I want people to see that it is becoming more, I believe the, at least the Midwest pride
- 15:33parades are becoming more tame.
- 15:35There, you've got employee groups like Huntington Bank, the JC Penney, they all show up with
- 15:41T-shirts on.
- 15:42So they're not it nude and they're not doing the bondage.
- 15:45There will be floats of those kinds of people there in the parade.
- 15:50So you don't want your children to go for many reasons.
- 15:52But New York and San Francisco, they're going to be just as raw to as ever.
- 15:57So you know, we need to continue to stand up.
- 15:59It is very important, not just against the trans agenda, but against homosexuality.
- 16:06I just wrote an article in this.
- 16:07We have to keep standing, get specifically against homosexuality because of what it's doing
- 16:13to our children.
- 16:15We will get to that when we come back after our break, keep objecting to homosexuality
- 16:20and Linda lays out four good reasons.
- 16:22We'll be right back on World View Matters with Linda Harvey of Mission America.

- 17:42So Linda Harvey's our guest today and Mission America has great resources, friends.
- 17:48If you want to know the bullet points of the biblical world view and how we need to respond
- 17:53to this onslaught of our culture, it's sin.
- 17:58Many are in bondage in this lifestyle and they don't even know it.
- 18:04Because they've been programmed, they've been sold.
- 18:05They only know one side of things.
- 18:07Maybe they haven't heard the gospel.
- 18:09Maybe they haven't heard about Jesus.
- 18:10What's where we come in?
- 18:11But I'm just going to tell you, I'm going to go on down this list now of days that are
- 18:15celebrated, whether that's in America or around the world.
- 18:19We just had, what was, of course, June, the entire month of June, Pride Month.
- 18:24But the 28th at the end of June, it's international, LGBTQ plus day.
- 18:28And then next month, July 16th, International Drag Day, we've got bisexual awareness week
- 18:34in September.
- 18:36You know the whole month of October is LGBT history month.
- 18:39And then we've also got national coming out day, international pronoun day, October
- 18:4419th, the entire month of November, trans awareness month.
- 18:49And then November 5th, transparent day, transgender awareness week.
- 18:53And we start all over again at the beginning of the year.
- 18:56But this happens in the schools, they don't have every one of these, but they have plenty.
- 19:02And Linda, you've written about this, you've got a lot of helpful information over at
- 19:05your school, corruption and propaganda calendar.
- 19:08Can we just touch on that for a minute, please?
- 19:11Yes.
- 19:12Yeah, we put this out starting about four years ago, where it just seemed to me that we
- 19:17needed to organize away from parents to know what might be coming and to watch for this
- 19:22in your schools.
- 19:24We don't listen to what schools participate, of course.
- 19:27That's a massive research that would have to be done and schools change their minds.
- 19:34Hopefully in the right direction where they leave this behind.
- 19:37But starting right off in the, in the beginning of the school year, you've got another one
- 19:43that's very closely connected, banned books week, because we're spending a lot of time
- 19:49and the whole country's been spending a lot of time in the parental rights movement
- 19:53on trying to do something about the obscene books.
- 19:57And they are, they are triple X rated obscene folks.
- 20:00This is not just, you know, something mild and sometimes it's throughout the book.
- 20:05And they're also deeply anti-Christian and every woke agenda out there, kids are being
- 20:10propagandized, many of them, but not all have the LGBTQ agenda in it.
- 20:15So, you know, you have to, you're going to get the objection that, oh, you're being
- 20:20a bigot.
- 20:21No, we're against, well, actually we are against homosexuality, however you want to define
- 20:26that.
- 20:27We're against pornography.
- 20:28Let's start obscenity doesn't belong.
- 20:31But then, then in October, as you mentioned, they will start celebrating often with books
- 20:36in the libraries and school libraries, the so-called gay history month.
- 20:41And of course, they never start with the biggest historical event that should be celebrated
- 20:46or not celebrated, observed and mourned by practicing homosexuals.
- 20:52And that is the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, documented in Genesis 19.
- 20:57But that will never be out there.
- 20:59But they, you know, elevate lots of historical figures to homosexuality or elevate them to
- 21:06a status of celebration, even if they don't know they were homosexuals or not, they will
- 21:13say they are like Abraham Lincoln, for instance.
- 21:16So it goes on for-
- 21:17Yeah, let's go now to, there's just some funny memes out there.
- 21:24So we can't have fun with this, happy, this is sad, but it's happy mentally ill, sexually
- 21:29deviant, perverted exhibitionist fetish month, the Democrat nationalist flag.
- 21:34So they call it, you know, that's a play on their accusations of us being Christian
- 21:39nationalists, right, wanting to take over the country and make it a theocracy and force
- 21:44people to believe in Jesus.
- 21:46And you know what, that's, we can't force that God, that's up to, you know, God and the
- 21:51individual.
- 21:52But anyway, June is groomer awareness month, I liked that one.
- 21:56What's next?
- 21:57Oh, there we go, now this is on their side.
- 22:00They sent this out, wishing all the homophobes a super uncomfortable month.
- 22:05And as I said at the start of this podcast, June can be frustrating for a lot of us that
- 22:12remember, Linda, you and I are old enough to remember, maybe in the 60s, how, and that's
- 22:20when things were changing too, by the way, but how we were founded, how we were more of
- 22:26a Christian nation, you could see it, but now we're losing that influence.
- 22:30And who's got the influence now?
- 22:32It's the left and those who want to really reach and access young children, right?
- 22:38Absolutely.
- 22:39And the problem is that this is becoming tyranny.
- 22:42It's becoming to the point where you, you can't object to this in your workplace in the schools
- 22:47or you will be punished.
- 22:48They will make sure that you know that there is consequences to pay for this.
- 22:56So first amendment rights to freedom of religion, to freedom of speech are out the window.
- 23:02They don't care.
- 23:03They will just roll over it if they can.
- 23:06I just read and I think I sent this to you that there is a lifeguard, actually, he works
- 23:12for the Los Angeles Fire Department has for 20 some years.
- 23:17He objected to being asked himself to raise a pride flag and they not only refused his
- 23:25religious accommodation, they said first said yes and then a couple days later said no,
- 23:30but then they penalized him in the workplace, he's now suing them.
- 23:35And hopefully he wins because this is a clear cut case of religious discrimination.
- 23:39But these are going on all over the country in schools.
- 23:45Our kids that is I mean Christian conservative, right leaning kids who understand the morality
- 23:54of this are being punished all over the place and things don't make headlines.
- 24:00So we need to make sure our kids are well trained in the right world view as your world view
- 24:06does.
- 24:07Yes.
- 24:08Amen.
- 24:09And yeah, there are people that they're trying to make examples of and in the workplace
- 24:14or like that.
- 24:15I mean, think and take about Jack Phillips and he's been in on the courts for over a decade
- 24:20now, I think.
- 24:21Anyway, Linda briefly, I know we ran out of time here before we really got in the nuts
- 24:24and bolts of your article, but you have four good reasons.
- 24:27Let's just go to number four and start work backwards.
- 24:31No one is born homosexual or in the wrong body.
- 24:35Number three, homosexuality is a sin and faithful Christians must stand on this truth.
- 24:41Number two, partnering or participating with gaze against groomers is a mistake.
- 24:48Number one, we look confused and muddled when we fail to stand against all the sexual
- 24:53andarchy labels.
- 24:55So you can start there, just touch on whatever you'd like to.
- 24:58Well, one of the things that made me write this article is there's a group and I applaud
- 25:04so much of the success they've had, moms for liberty, they've gotten a lot of national
- 25:09publicity.
- 25:10They've been very successful in Florida.
- 25:13There we have chapter here in Ohio, they're all over the place.
- 25:16The problem with their stance is they have partnered with gaze against groomers.
- 25:20They even allowed them to speak at their national convention in Philadelphia.
- 25:25Oh my goodness.
- 25:26They are very big on opposing the obscene books and the trans agenda, but I have heard people
- 25:34who are representatives of that group say I have no problem with homosexuality among kids.
- 25:41And that is a problem because you do not want to partner officially for very long with
- 25:47people who are actively in this lifestyle, when you're fighting the school issue, they
- 25:52will abandon you at every point because they believe people were born that way.
- 25:57They wish they could have dated same sexually as teens.
- 26:01They will encourage that and see nothing wrong and on and on and on.
- 26:05We also have to somebody's born this way if it here's the deal, there's been no research
- 26:10that supported this.
- 26:11If there was valid research, big pharma with their profit motive would be developing testing
- 26:18for the gay gene for being born in the wrong sex body.
- 26:22They are not to my knowledge, doing anything like that.
- 26:25No one is born this way.
- 26:26It is a developed desire and it can be undeveloped and we need to not promote it to our kids.
- 26:31Guys, get that article.
- 26:33Keep objecting to homosexuality for good reasons and it's really excellent over at Mission
- 26:39America.com.
- 26:40I did want to mention, we talked about other corporations, we didn't mention Walmart, they
- 26:45have a new Pride Always collection, over a thousand products, including Pride, notebooks,
- 26:53tote bags, fanny packs, pool floaties, rainbow colored products to celebrate the season,
- 26:58including a t-shirt that says some people are gay, get over it.
- 27:01Friends, this is Walmart and they just said we couldn't be prouder of this year's LGBTQIA
- 27:09plus founders and designers, today, tomorrow, always, hashtag Pride Always, so just understand
- 27:17what these corporations and what people are pushing and we can be loving and compassion
- 27:21but we still need to be bold and stand against it.
- 27:23Linda, thank you, we're out of time but thank you so much for being on the show again.
- 27:27Thank you.
- 27:28Alright, friends, just keep speaking the truth and love God, bless you and as always, keep
- 27:34speaking the truth about things that matter.
